Dad and I recently attended the wedding reception of a good friend of Hannah's - and she had a photo booth there for the guests to get their pictures taken - and then put in a keepsake album for the bride and groom to enjoy.
I really thought said photo booths had gone the way of malt shops and bouffant hair. Apparently they are all the rage.
We really did used to use them a lot - they were a fun diversion. Something to do at the 5 and Dime.
You have to understand - we didn't have Wal-Mart or Target or digital cameras - even Polaroid cameras were for the well-to-do - or those aspiring to look well-to-do!
Joy and I were on a double date when this shot was taken. We went to some exhibit at USC - and then to Taix's French Restaurant in LA. It's not in the same location anymore - it's hardly the same restaurant either.
If I find the shot with our dates, I'll post them. It was a fun date - these boys went to high school with us - and were fairly avant garde for their time.
But that's a subject for another post.

Even Polaroid cameras are going out... they're going to stop making the film in a couple of months!
